PROSPERO (PROcesses for Support of PErsonal development Records Online)is investigating requirements for interoperability between FE, HE and employer’s learning systems, to ensure that learners can make use of LIP compliant personal development records

This report outlines the thoughts and conclusions on the usage of an equivalence framework as part of the ODL’s PDP system. An equivalence framework is used to define the relationship between elements of skill sets and learning activities, as provided by educational institutions.

The purpose of this document is to draw upon previous PROSPERO and JISC work, to begin to specify the data, the processes and the 'PLE' system that relate to skills/competencies and their relationship between employment and academia.

This document (as a zip file) includes sample documentation of PDP processes in use in partner FE and employer organisations. The aim is to provide a picture of the current state of PDP (the processes and data) within FE, HE and industry.
